    BROODER thread! Post pics of your brooders!

    I have been meaning to post this for a while.....I used pallets and scrap lumber that was in the garage to build a brooder for the 10 bantams I picked up. I designed it so I can move it out to the garage this summer. The rubbermaid just wasn't going to cut it for very long.... breaking down...

    Hey, Anyone from North Dakota? Even though I doubt it.

    I was invited to help out with the FM Urban Chickens face book page today, and would like to invite anybody (especially from ND and MN) to like and support the page.

    Hey, Anyone from North Dakota? Even though I doubt it.

    Hey, Anyone from North Dakota? Even though I doubt it.

    . Thank you, I feel the same way. I did hear that there was a presentation this evening at the Fargo public library on raising backyard chickens. Always love to see that. Wasn't able to make it, though, I didn't know in time and live a little ways away.

    Chicken waterer nipple ?

    If you are handy and want to save a few dollars, I would suggest buying the Poultry Nipples Here. It's the best price I've found so far. Use a little brain power and you can produce awesome watering systems for much cheaper than pre-fab ones. Here is a great Birdbath Heater that isn't to...
